Adult Education

Abstract

The innovative institution of Second Chance Schools (SDE) is a relatively modern educational intervention whose goal is the social and economic integration of adults, whose formal qualifications are judged to be deficient and insufficient within the context of the modern learning society.

The teachers of Second Chance Schools play a fundamental role in achieving the above goals. Who are the institutional mediators between the educational system and the students of these schools? Within this context, the institution of educational evaluation comes to function as an aid to improving the quality of the education provided and not only that.

Based on the above, the purpose of this research project is to record, highlight and analyze the attitudes and opinions of teachers of all the specialties of the SDE regarding the institution of educational evaluation, while in the second year it aspires to investigate the proposals of the teachers of PES on the improvement of the evaluation process.

Methodologically, the research was based on the processing of primary data which were collected through the use of a semi-structured questionnaire that was sent electronically.

The reference population of the research consists of all the teaching staff – hourly and seconded – of the Second Chance schools in Greece.
